Ask if there is a better way
Every time. Even when the current way works. Especially then.
Challenge the assumptions
Most problems are stuck on something everyone agreed to without checking. We go and check.
Actually think
Not repeat, not follow the trend. Slow down long enough to understand the thing in front of us.
See the bigger picture
Step back until the parts make sense as a whole, then decide what matters.
Tie the room together
The idea that makes everything else in the room make sense. (Yes, that line. It really does.)
Find the adjacent leverage
The answer to a problem in one field is often sitting in the next field over, in science, technology, engineering or maths.
